Great movie. Bill Murray is great in this, but don't forget to keep your eye on Willem Defoe.
- RyanEs
Great movie. Hilarious and serious.
- Bill Romanos
I watched the movie months ago, hated it, couldn't even get all the way through. Funny thing is I usually like Wes Anderson movies, but not this one.
- Dave Winer
I'm with Dave on this one. I've seen it twice and didn't like it both times.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Love this movie. Just the helmet music is enough to make my day. Didn't like it the first time I saw it, mainly because of the superfluous CGI acquatic creatures and Kate Blanchett's ridiculous voice. But it really grew on me upon repeat viewing. Still hate the CGI creatures.

Dehumanization of Arabs and Muslims in Hollywood.
- Mohamed J
I don't like that word, "Arabs" :\
- Mona Nomura
+1 Mona, don't like how it's used at all
- Mo Kargas
great youtube find
- sedgewick
Mona, what don't you like about it?
- Mohamed J
Sad. Reminds of asian women roles. Either they are prostitutes or 'weak'.
- Rodfather
Mo: In the U.S., "Arab" is (commonly) used in derogatory contexts and the connotation rings negativity...
- Mona Nomura
Really? I didn't think there's anything wrong with 'Arab'.
- Rodfather
Mona, this is exactly the message of the video. Hollywood (US media) has changed the meaning of Arab. It's now negative like an insult. Same with Muslim and Islam. Same with the Arab culture (food, dress, tradition).
- Mohamed J
Mo: Definitely. I love the Arabian culture (food especially!!) and I've tried to educate myself as much as possible. Unfortunately, the reality is, most people do no look beyond what is presented to us via Mass Media, and pass judgements... I understand what the video is saying, however depending on the viewer, it may be perceived as mocking of sorts... @Rodfather: Abroad, "Arab" is the 'norm' per se, since the word is not painted in a negative fashion...
- Mona Nomura
Mona, the way I understand it, arab is a racial term, and is used negatively in the media.
- Mo Kargas
They do that to (almost) every one at some point...
- J. Abdul-Qahhar
I've always thought of Arab as another ethnic group. Like Persians, Latinos, etc..
- Rodfather
I see it asjust a name for humans from a particular region of the earth (arabian penninsula)... I don't believe in race since it's just another term that was constructed in order to stop us from calling each other human. The old divide and conquer routine.

Bjorn, where did you get your Tumblr template?
- Hao Chen
Hao~ Thanks, but why on earth would you want to leave Tumblr for wordpress?
- Bjorn Stromberg
Christian: Right now, it just exports the posts and its tags. Not sure how comments work on Tumblr. Is it Disqus? No CSS unless it's inline style.

- Amit Morson
thanks again Hao for doing this. The video didn't surive the import though (but it did yesterday, with the alpha version you showed me!). some pics are also still missing but the tags have all been properly imported.
- Gaby K. Slezák
Bjorn: my reason for "leaving" tumblr is that I'd rather have one place where I blog and share everything, comments without Disqus, and where the archive/search doesn't suck, which WP has just made as easy like Tumblr is with the new "Presse this" bookmarklet
- Gaby K. Slezák
Gaby, nice catch. Fixed the video bug. That might have also fixed the image bug . :)

If you are looking for Windows hosting and you need a SQL Server database and are considering GoDaddy, be aware that they do not let you connect to your db with Enterprise Manager so your only choice if you ever want to make a backup or change hosts is to pay more than $100 to have the make a backup for you.

Claire, I was just making that point earlier tonight about Dom Perignon.

"ARABIC CALLIGRAPHY’ IS A HYBRID ENGLISH TERM. ‘Calligraphy’, taken from the Greek kallos (beauty) and graphe (writing), is literally understood in the western perception as ‘beautiful (hand) writing’ of the Arabic language. Yet the Arabic term for what we call calligraphy invites closer inspection. Within the Arabic language the transliterated word ‘Khatt’ (خط) is derived from ‘line’, ‘design’, and ‘construction’. The philological connotations get lost in the translated term ‘calligraphy’. From a type design perspective I think this rather an astonishing difference."

"Taken four years ago, it was said to show Banksy at work. When the picture was published it appeared to be the first chink in the armour of anonymity with which the artist has shielded himself ever since his work began to attract the attention of the art world."

I am shocked shocked to hear that Banksy is a member of the middle classes. </sarcasm>
- Adewale Oshineye
Weirdly, I was happier when he was anonymous - I liked the idea of little elves running through and creating art when no-one was looking.

selling art at the prices he does i don't think he's middle class anymore

This device enable tagging on the go.. Like BrightKite, it geo tags but is integrated with GPS, so you don't have to physically punch in addresses. There's a dynamic map that enables starring places you like and finding other places users have tagged.... That's so AWESOME!!

Wow, is this a real thing? They need to integrate social networks with GPS devices. Then again I'm on FF too much as it is.

I wouldn't mind a set of those "bassglow" wrist straps, if only for concerts. And that revolving power strip is friggin genius.
